Courts Closed

Sun, 24 May 2026 16:46:33 GMT

Resurfacing is in progress

The basketball, tennis and pickleball courts are currently completely closed until the ongoing construction and resurfacing project is finished. For safety and quality reasons, there is absolutely no access to this area. We kindly ask that you monitor your children closely to ensure they stay away from the construction zone. Please note that stepping on the courts during this time will damage the new surface and only delay the final completion of the project. Thank you for your cooperation and patience as we improve our amenities!

Welcome Kenmont's Tennis Pro: Will Jones

Sat, 23 May 2026 20:01:10 GMT

Welcome Kenmont's New Tennis Pro: Will Jones

We are pleased to announce that William Jones will be teaching tennis classes and private lessons at Kenmont this summer. He comes to us as an employee of IWM Sports , who run our summer tennis camps.

About

William Jones (Will) has had a deep love and passion for the game of tennis since a racquet was placed in his hands at 3 years old. After a successful junior tennis career reaching a top 7 state ranking in NC, Will played Division 1 singles and doubles at Howard University where he majored in Finance. After graduating, Will served as an assistant coach for the Howard team, coaching dozens of students and helping them navigate college tennis, employment, and life beyond tennis.

Will started coaching at 12 years old, gaining experience with teaching group classes, private lessons, and managing facilities. He’s worked with hundreds of players, helping them accomplish their goals in junior, high school, league, and tournament-level tennis. Will offers a particularly engaging perspective on the physics and biomechanics of tennis so both children and adults can understand the game at a deeper, foundational level. Here in the DMV, Will teaches players of all ages and skill levels, helping them build confidence, strong fundamentals, and a lifelong love for the game.

Born and raised in NYC, he revisits his hometown to give back to the local tennis community, helping young players get to college.

Outside of tennis, Will is a management consultant. He spent the majority of his career at a big 4 consulting firm and enjoys working at the nexus of strategy, customer and employee experience, marketing, data, and finance. He plays basketball and the piano when he’s not on the court.

Pickleball Tournament a HUGE Success

rorris@gmail.com (Rebecca Orris) — Sun, 07 Jul 2024 01:47:39 GMT

Unexpectedly Large Turnout for First Annual Tournament!

With over 41 people signed up to play in the First Annual 4th of July Pickleball Tournament , we knew we were in for a great day of pickleball and it didn't disappoint. The morning started at 9am with a free lesson for newbies and rusty players with Coach Brad Paleg. The first group of adults played from 10 - noon, followed by a second group of adults from noon - 2pm, along with a group of about a dozen kids! The winners of the morning adult bracket played the winners of the afternoon adult bracket in a final that attracted lots of fans looking down from the new retaining wall in the picnic area.

It was brutally hot and humid on the sunny court, but in the end Team Angerer-Gehman defeated Team Johnson in a hard fought match! But in truth, everyone who came out and played was a winner in our eyes and we are looking forward to continuing to build up pickleball at Kenmont.

If you haven't already, be sure to join the Kenmont Pickleball email list and the more active Kenmont WhatsApp group . Info on how to do that is on the Kenmont Pickleball page . Kenmont played in an interclub league last Fall and Spring and co-captains Marg Brennan and David Karp are looking to have an A and B team for this Fall's league, so sign up for the email and/or WhatsApp group to stay in the know!

Lessons and clinics for adults and kids are planned for this summer starting soon with Coach Brad. Keep an eye out for communications about those!

A few photos of the tournament are below. More photos can be viewed on the Pickleball photo album .

Live Band Friday July 21 -- The Grasso Brothers

rorris@gmail.com (Rebecca Orris) — Wed, 12 Jul 2023 21:31:00 GMT

Bring your lawn chairs and listen up!

On Friday July 21 from 6-8pm, the Grasso Brothers will be playing at Kenmont! Exact location on the club grounds is still TBD, but we think you'll be able to find them!

Playing soul, rock, blues, funk and reggae, originals and covers, these two brothers bring their extensive background to their performances. Hailing from such bands as Uncle Chunky, Jr. Cline and The Recliners, Doctors’ Orders and Nayas, harmony and groove are at the heart every show.

Growing up in Takoma Park MD has had huge impact on their sound. They use lots of DC's own GO GO infused with other local genres in their sound.

We hope to see you on the 21st!

Final Teen Night August 23

rorris@gmail.com (Rebecca Orris) — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 14:45:18 GMT

Wednesday August 23 from 7-10pm Teens Will Rule the Pools!

The final Kenmont Teen Night is Wednesday August 23 from 7-10pm.

A popular, longstanding tradition, on Teen Nights Kenmont closes at 7pm to the wider membership so that our teens can have a fun evening snacking, hanging out, and enjoying the pool with their peers (plus lifeguards and adult volunteers).

Recognizing that some kids have their 13th birthdays later in the summer or fall, we define “teens” for this event as rising 8th graders and up.

We need some adult members to help make this event happen.

Contact membership@kenmont.com to volunteer. Below are some of the opportunities!

Purchase and deliver food (reimbursed by submitting receipt). An ideal role for parents of teens.
Set up and clean up. Another great way for parents of teens to support the event.
Volunteer during the event. An ideal role for members without teen children attending; teens prefer it if their own parents aren't there (imagine that). Volunteering during the event is a light lift - making sure the food stays refilled, addressing any questions, and providing assistance if needed. Lifeguards will be on duty and in charge of the pool, as usual.

Spread the word among the teens you know, and raise your hand to volunteer if you can!

Join the Kenmont Book Club this Summer

rorris@gmail.com (Rebecca Orris) — Mon, 05 Jun 2023 21:03:40 GMT

Join us for some good reads and discussions this summer!

From the Kenmont Book Club:

We are looking forward to our next meeting on Tuesday, June 6 at 7 pm. We will be discussing The Lager Queen of Minnesota by J. Ryan Stradal. Note the earlier start time! The pool is closing at 8pm so we will get started right at 7pm.

Additionally, we are going to choose books to read for July through October. Please limit your suggestions to one or two books at the most and provide a brief description of your suggestions.

For our summer meetings bring something to share if you want to but it's absolutely not required. Kenmont's first swim team fundraising dine out is the same day as our book club meeting so head to Five Guys in Kensington with your family before the meeting or just bring it with you to the book club!

Be sure to tell them you are there for the Kenmont Tsunami Swim Team.

Can't make it this time? Join the Book Club email list: https://groups.io/g/bookclubKenmont/ to stay in the know!

You may register for more than one session or class if you wish.

Policies & Reminders

At Kenmont, parents do not get in the water with their swimmers. Instructors will ask parents to watch the class from a distance. This is better for your swimmer’s learning and lets the instructor focus on the class. Please register for a class only if you are comfortable with this.
Makeup policy: W e do our best to accommodate makeup requests. If your swimmer misses a class, please email Giuliana and she will let you know if a makeup can be scheduled. Makeups are not guaranteed and depend heavily on how full the classes get.
Weather affects summer classes. We do not guarantee a makeup for a weather-related closure, however, we will always try our best. Giuliana will send updates about weather-related disruptions. If you do not hear from someone about classes being canceled, go to the pool. Usually, we will not cancel unless it is actively storming or if the forecast is 100% certain for heavy storms. If you email us during the day asking about the status of evening classes, we will likely tell you to head to the pool unless you hear otherwise.
We do not prorate fees for partial summer sessions. Each session is 2 weeks long.
Payment in full is due with registration to secure your swimmer’s spot in our program.

Pickleball is here!

rorris@gmail.com (Rebecca Orris) — Tue, 02 Aug 2022 16:04:22 GMT

We've got a pickleball net and paddles!

There is now a pickleball net! It's on wheels and can easily be moved on and off the tennis courts. The wheels are easy to lock and unlock, so if it isn't moving easily, unlock all the wheels! There are 4 pickleball paddes and balls in the new storage box on the courts! Please get out there and play. There are no lines yet, but it's still fun to hit the ball back and forth, or bring chalk and draw your own until the final lines are painted! To learn more, join the new tennis and pickleball email list and reserve a court, go to the new Pickleball page !
